NYS-Autism Insurance Coverage-Call State Senators

[Guest guest]

Please call NY Senators today for autism health insurance reform _

Take Action!_

(http://capwiz.com/a-champ/utr/1/MOREMEXYRQ/KQAAMEZBHB/4840407986) Your calls

make a difference

Your telephone calls are desperately needed today to the members of the

New York Senate Insurance Committee. Please let them know that you support

Senate Bill S6123, the autism health insurance reform bill supported by the

autism community.

 

S 6123 would put into law that insurers regulated by the state must

provide specific services. The Autism Speaks bill, S7000, that was introduced

next week provides no solid guarantees for any services.

 

S 7000 is supported by Senator Neil Breslin, the Chair of the Senate

Insurance Committee. Negotiators for the autism community will be meeting with

Sen. Breslin and others today to negotiate for guaranteed healthcare for the

autism community. We need your help.

 

Please call the following Senators today and let them know that you want

New York law to guarantee coverage of healthcare for people with autism.

Vague promises that a committee in the future may approve services are simply

not good enough.

 

Some of the Senators below have endorsed S6123, the bill the autism

community wants, some have endorsed S 7000, the Autism Speaks bill, some have

endorsed both, and some have endorsed neither bill.

 

When you call please be polite and respectful and let them know that you

support S6123, because you want New York law to guarantee access to

healthcare for people with autism.

 

And click on the Take Action button above to send an email to your own

Senator and member of the Assembly telling him of her that you support S6123

in the Senate and the A6888, the identical bill in the Assembly.

 

This will be a very important week in this effort so please be ready to do

what you can to help us all.

 

Please pass this message on to family, friends and co-workers and please

post it to Face Book, My Space and other online spaces.
